[Plugin: Google Analytics for WordPress] GA Plugin min version needs updating

    Just a note, the minimum required version listed for this plugin is 2.7 but it uses a call only available in 2.8 – this means if you have a 2.7-based blog (WHICH YOU SHOULD NOT STILL HAVE! Upgrade now!) then in certain circumstances the tracking code won’t work properly. I’m not sure exactly what the circumstances are – haven’t looked.

    The line I noticed is this:
    return plugins_url('', __FILE__).'/';

    I’m pretty sure that using plugins_url() with the __FILE__ argument didn’t work until 2.8 came around. For any <2.8 blogs it’ll leave you a lot of 404 errors for a file called:
    /wp-content/plugins/custom_se.js
    because plugins_url() will return the wrong value.

    Anyone using version 2.7.x can fix this by editing line 16 of plugin. Instead of
    return plugins_url('', __FILE__).'/';
    it should be
    return plugins_url('google-analytics-for-wordpress', __FILE__).'/';
